To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, HERMANN Scnomzn, a subject of the German Emperor, undo resident of Griesheim-on-the-Main, Germany, doctor of philosophy, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Menufucture of Chlorin Compounds of Lime, of which the following is a specification.

In chlorinating calcium hydroxid for the manufacture of the so-celled liquid calcium chlorid, it has not been possible to 'much exceed 21 contents of from 100, to 119, grains of active chlorin per liter (specific gravity 1.15). Lunge in his Handbuc/i do? Sada- Inclusz'rie 2 edition, Vol. 111, page 426, has even stated that it is not, advisable to exceed a specific gravity of 1.14:, as otherwise a conversion. into calcium chlorate will take place. A i; a matter of fact, it has been observed that on further passing chlorin through milk of lime, the filtrate of which has a specific gravity of 1.15 and contains iii-om 100, to 110, grams of active chlorin, the contents in chlori-n, i. 6., the dilierence between the total chlorin and thenctive chlorin, greatly increases. This observation has led to the supposition that chlorate is formed, as such formation is also connected with an increase in the amount of chlorin contained in the chlorid. I have however found that the observed increase in the amount. of chlorin contained in the chlorid (bleaching powder) is due to quite u diiicrent cause. In concentrating the solution to the specific Weight of 1.15, a point is reached at which the further introduction of chlorin causes the precipitotion o't' ditiicultly soluble conibinzitions of the hypochlorite With lime;

when a. mill: of lime of approximately 16 Baiun is employed. It chlorination be further proceeded under these conditions, the filtrate of the solution. shows no incrcuse in active clilorin, but only in calcium chlorid for according to the following equation:

one molecule of CeCl is formed for each molecule of CMOCl), precipitated, with the lime, the moleculeof CaC-l remaining in the solution. There isindeed a decrease of the contents in active chlorin in the solution, as the increase of the calcium chlorid. in the solution decreases the solubility of the basic compounds. These compounds crystallize in Well-shaped crystals, but us they are decoin- Specification of Letters Patent Yestiemted Sept, $1, 1939 Application filed April 27, 1907. Serial 3:70. 370,7!11. (Specimens) posed by Water and cannot herefore be recrystallized, they are difiicult to obtain in 21 state of purity/for analyzing pun oses. No doubt is here a ucstion of P various compounds corresponding to the formula So(OCl),mCu(Olrl) The compounds OMUCDQCMOH), and CMOCQ, 46:1(OH), have been isolated. These basic compounds are those bodies which, on dissolving ordinary bleaching powder in Water, retain with obstinacy active chlorin in'the residue, for to decompose them completely into lime and dissolved hypochlorite requires s large quantity of Waterand the decomposition proceeds extremely slowly. The fine cloudiness occurring frequently in solutions f bleaching powder and many other still unexplained properties of ordinary bleaching powder are probably attributable to the existence of these basic compounds.

The hereiiibefore described basic compounds possess a property which is of great importance .111 the arts, for they are agz in. decomposed on ben'ig further treated with It is even possible to carry the concentration so for that the purecrystellized Ca (0C1) is,

precipitated directly, or by the addition of an easily soluble suit (for instance calcium chlorid).

The following invention can be carried out.

Example 1: Lime containing 6.4 parts of Water for each part of C210 the specific weight of this milk of lime being about 60 Baum is chlorinated, Without troubling shoot the precipitation of the basic corn-- pounds, until nearly all the lime is used. up.

are examples of how this and only from 1 to 2 ..liter. can be used in lieu oit concentrated can do Javelie (liquor of Jevelle).

I cases"! A solution is obtained; which contains from l ducing chlorin, substentielly as end for the 180, to 190, grams per liter of chlorin and only e smell excess of the calcium chlorid, grams of chlorate, per It has e specific Weight of 126 and Example 2 If the solution obtained in ac: cordance with Example 1 be again mined with C210, with, or W thout, Water, and the calculated amount of chlorin' he passed through it, a large quantity 0% crystallized.

CMOCU is precipitated thc crystals being identical with those obtained by evaporation. By frequently repeating this operation, almost the whole oi the hypochlorite can be precipitated. The precipitation is preferehly expedited hy the addition of calcium chlorid. After filtering off and-Washing out, the crystals thus obtained can, by rapid drying, at a. temperature not exceeding 60 Q. be converted into a stablc torm.

I claim 1. The herein descrihedprocess of Inanufncturing compounds of calcium hypochlorite, consisting in melting milk of lime, chlorinating the latter beyond the specific gravity of 1.15., adding as much lime as is necessary to precipitate the said compounds, and intropurpose set forth.

2. The herein described process of menufocturing: compounds of calcium hypochlor te, COIISIStIDg 1n making milk of lime, chlormstmg the latter beyond the'specific gravity 4 of 1.15, adding as much lime as is necessary to precipitate the said compounds, introducing chlorin until the solution isof such con centration that (1:1(OC1) is precipitatedand quickly drying the precipitate, substantially as andfor the purpose set forth.

31 The herein described process of manufacturing compoundsof calcium hypoc'hlorite, consisting in making milk of lime, chlorinating the latter beyond the specific gravity of 1.15, adding as much lime as is necessary to precipitate the said compounds, introducing chlorin and suiting out the solid CMOCD by calcium chlorid and quickly drying the precipitate, substantially as and for the purpose set forth,

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribingwitnesses.
